When the Heart Sings | Liz Tolsma
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
Natia has a secret, and she's hiding him right beneath her captor's nose...The Nazis have forced Natia and Teodor from their Polish farm to a labor camp. The couple is separated: Natia is chosen to be the housekeeper for the camp's overseer, and Teodor is sent to work in the factory. Despite the strict camp rules-and the consequences for disobeying them-Natia finds a way to communicate with Teodor by sending messages through song as she passes Teodor's dormitory. The stakes get higher when Natia finds a Jewish orphan on the overseer's doorstep. She is determined to protect the boy and raise him as the child she and her husband were unable to bear- but if her German captors discover how much she's hiding, both she and Teodor may pay the ultimate price.

Filled with excellent storytelling, this book takes place during WW2 in war torn Poland. This was such a difficult and turbulent time for Poland and her people. Tremendous amounts of suffering and loss became routine and even expected. But somehow, those who had faith, had hope. Their persevering hope led to joy. A needy little orphan provided hope, joy and a reason to keep on living. This book touched my heart.
